Armada Collective? Spanish. Did they just loose a game of bowls or something and are annoyed with everyone?

"Disclaimer of extraterrestrial sovereignty" - damn right

If the other whinge bags put photo cars on the road so I can see buildings and landmarks as well (and for free) then I'd happily use them. In other words beat them with products rather than with a legal stick.

If they have to pay the back tax that they owe, what's the betting it'll be iThings for schools and iTune credits rather than cold hard cash.

What about GPS programmed drones. They aren't remotely operated, the GPS, computer etc. are on board. And if they have that kind of kit on board, they will weigh more than a kilo.

Someone has to say it - it's DIP shit.

Technical oppertunities. Really? Technically knowing the right end of broom. The job is for someone who walks around all day, looking to clean floors. Possibly wiping up the mess of certain incoming laws.

Easy defense - bring a bag of 35KG cement and get the girlies to shift it into a cement mixer. Then point out 25KG is much easier.

And does the smaller bag have an easy opening so they don't break their nails?

Is it just because Pudsey is coming to the Beeb or does the 'ARMv8-M mainline variants' image look like a teddy bear head?

That's a very flat world. I wonder if there is a large turtle underneath it? We'll need some volunteers to go over the side with a probe.

And with OpenWRT or whatever it's called, I adjust my router to use 2 heartbeats to everyone elses one beat. Open source, don't you just love it.

And people wonder why boffins keep claiming the ice sheets are disappearing. Breaking news - big fuck-off ships are ramming it. Breaking, breaking news - the planet is not warming up and causing the ice-sheets to disappear although technically, it still is a man made disaster.

Does Talktalk offer an email service? Icing on the cake if they used this software :-)

Doomed, we're all doomed. Oh hang on, we're not living on Mars yet are we?

Well, he said what I'd been thinking for a while. Why doesn't GCHQ just put spies into IS and the rest. Like in the good old days. It seems we employ cowards now in the spy business. James Bond would be spinning in his Martini if he realised that the next JB movie is a dweeb sitting in front of a monitor for 8 hours then goes home and plays on his Xbox/PS4.

"We have also never allowed access to our servers." - he should have added "knowingly". They (NSA etc.) have 0-day exploits which I'm sure are valid for tapping servers as well as smart phones.

He's just doing what typical stock brokers do via their old boys network. They are probably just miffed because they didn't think of it before.

I saw them advertising on the telly yesterday. Hadn't seen them for a while - problems down 't mill?

Wow, scarily named group, I tremble with fear whenever I hear that name. Not.

Bad Aibling, Germany - more like Bad spies, Germany.

10 Meg is the minimum requirement for GCHQ to download your emails,browser history,webcam images etc. direct from your computer (as will be the legal requirement by 2020).

In line with Davey boys 'everyone should be on 10Meg' broadband, surely an opportunity for Project Loon to come to the UK and give the country folk some much needed relief.

FCC - Federal Chicken Cop-out

New project for el Reg, RASCAL - Register's Australian Submarine Costs A Lot. Obviously paper prototypes will be discouraged.

Why does PageFair employ n00bs who fall for email scams in the first place? It's OK for non-techies to be gullible but not people who work for internet based companies. They should have proper procedures in place so if they get an email from 'Tech Support' to verify their mother's maiden name, then (a) their spam filter should have dumped it and (b) they should question why does tech support need *any* information from me.

Morons and their advertising scumware.

I'm not even going down the route of underpaid employee got a few greenbacks from a third party...

Why wasn't this posted on November the 5th? I would have thought the Yanks would approve of someone trying to blow up their colonial overlords.

Why should we care? Really. By the end of the century oil will be long forgotten as an energy source and since there is nothing else there, the people will just disperse to cooler climates.

You might get a few tribes wanting to be 'king of the sand dunes' but the rest of the world will just mark it on the maps as 'Too hot, enter at your peril'.

Wait until a prisoner orders something from Amazon and a large 'copter comes in and a small prisoner jumps on. Beats building tunnels or hang gliders (Colditz reference there for non-WW2 historians).

If the initial attack was for only 15 minutes, what's the reason for paying? Most ISP's/web mail servers take that kind of hit and think nothing of it.

It's their upstream ISP who should have anti-DDoS hardware in place to stop these floods. My ex-place of work had one. If a customer got hit, no one actually knew because the box o'tricks was in LINX where bandwidth is plentiful. It could block fake packets, corrupt packets etc. and just dropped them. This kind of box should be standard in every ISP (even the cheap ones).

We know how crap their security is, but just how crap is their database system if they have 28,000 orphans credit card records? Is everything run off a dBase III system?

"Citizens need robust safeguards to ensure their fundamental rights are protected." - should someone point the EU people to the UK's latest Snoopers Charter?

What's wrong with using my DNA to show it's me?

I don't have a landline, when spam texts get to much , I dump my SIM and get another (probably every 6 months). Using CLI spoofers I can phone someone, they think it's someone else and I get their bank details.

So many things wong using *any* item to authenticate a person, using fresh DNA is the only real way. What's fresh DNA? Stuff that's just been swabbed from your cheek, not from the remenants of that pizza you chucked out last night.

Why do radar pictures show sunlight and shadow? Those are normal pictures.

Do they realise the internet would speed up if everything didn't go through the Great FIrewall which is just a 33k modem?

Is this why Microshit is limitting their cloud space? All ISP's will be required to store visited websites and store the URL (and identifying IP,name,D.o.B.,email etc) with MicroShit so the NSA can also look without legal oversight.

Did the guy know Microshit-on-you was going to burst their cloud bubble and everyone would go back to using the hard disk for more than booting an OS off?

will cost “around €50,000” (£35,886 or US$155,165). USD55,165 surely or are you involved in some forex dodgy dealing syndicate?

And what if Twitter released details of the 388 'hearts', how would those people feel being outted?

1st slide, PCIe x4 is 100 microseconds. 2nd slide PCIe x4 is now 10 microseconds whereas PCIe x2 is now down to 100 microseconds. Huh? Someone cooking the figures? If so I suggest Intel don't hire VW staff for things like this.

To appease the EU, what Google needs to do is break up into seperate entities, Chinese walls etc. search engine one entity, other bits, other entities. Everyone's happy then :-)

Well that's me cancelling my holiday.I even fully charged my camera battery. Such disappointment.

On another note, if Spanish don't want mistranslations speak Spanish in Spain (or English on Costa Del Crime), regional variations are best kept for comedians to poke fun at (know what I mean Cornwallians)
